Hi, I have a question for you : Here is a part of the song surrender :
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
This flower don't belong to me
Why can't she belong to me?
What I want you to tell me, is why they say this flower don't instead of this flower doesn't ?

The guy who wrote it is probably black

<<What I want you to tell me, is why they say this flower don't instead of this flower doesn't ? >>
Perhaps thay need a single syllable word, so thay pick don't rather than doesn't.

well, I have another question : can we use "she" instead of "it" for a flower or anything like that ?

I depends on the context. If you're writing a paper for the "Manitoba Journal of Botany", I'd stay away from using "she" when referring to flowers.
But in a poem or song -- go for it.
